I can't imagine it is. I can't think of any safe way to do it.

Better off re-drilling your hubs/discs IMO, but even thats a bit of a job.

i looked into this a while back for bbs lm's
Granada 5 stud hubs fit ok so u would have to obviously change discs/bells. the trouble is finding a bbs wheel with the same pcd as the granada

it might be worth making a mould of the centers minus the bolt holes,then cast some new ones and have them drilled .

a machine shop will be able to spin u up a set & set your studs to the pattern you need. might be very costly though, i got the granada hund for £30 in the local scrappy
